Wilson Barrientos-Salgado/Honduras/DUI, Domestic Abuse, Aggravated Assault

Wilson Barrientos-Salgado, a citizen of Honduras and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested by ICE New Orleans during targeted enforcement operations aimed at removing criminal aliens whose actions pose significant risks to community safety. Barrientos-Salgado has accumulated a troubling criminal record, reflecting a pattern of violent and reckless behavior that underscores the public safety concerns driving his apprehension.

Barrientos-Salgado’s criminal history includes an arrest for aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon, a serious violent offense that involves threatening or causing harm to another individual using a weapon capable of inflicting significant bodily injury or death. Such conduct is a clear indicator of violent tendencies and poses a grave risk to any community in which he resides.

In addition to his assault charges, Barrientos-Salgado has been arrested for domestic abuse—a crime that devastates families, endangers vulnerable victims, and strains local resources such as law enforcement and social services. Domestic violence is a serious public safety issue, and individuals who repeatedly engage in such behavior are considered high priorities for removal proceedings.

Further complicating his record, Barrientos-Salgado has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), a dangerous offense with potentially lethal consequences for both the offender and the public. His arrest for violating a protective order demonstrates a disregard for legal mandates designed to protect victims and maintain public safety.

Barrientos-Salgado is currently held in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. His history of violent and reckless offenses has led ICE to prioritize his case, reflecting the agency’s commitment to ensuring that individuals who endanger others are removed from the United States.
